Miranda Oney Poems

Crying comes naturally in this house,
no tears of joy, but of hate and fear.
Screaming engulfs these walls.
Pain from the physical attacks,
...

Taken away is innocence,
never to return.
Loving heart still intact,
but shame and horror set in.
...

Hungry, so hungry.
Been a while now.
Mommy's so lonely,
don't speak of how.
...

Feel the magic all around,
Leaves floating in the air.
See the Sprites scamper across the ground
without a worry or a care.
...

So sorry am I, my dear friend.
I fear I led you astray.
This really shouldn't be the end.
It's hard for me to convey.
...

Numbers rumble through my head,
equations must be remembered.
Tests are something students dread,
can't wait til December.
...

'Repent Heathen! ' is what They cry,
carrying Their torches.
No one even wonders why,
They just watch from Their porches.
...

Can you hear the screaming?
The tortured helpless cries
among the Holy Mountains that rise?
Or am I just dreaming?
...

Lovers quarrel, they fight, they cry.
Pain so intense that words are useless.
Emotions emitted as beastly sounds,
no thoughts, no language, just feelings.
...

Darkness, quiet, all around.
Nothing here, up or down.
Slowly, genlty, push on through.
Drink up to the health of you.
...
